Abbott, headquartered in China (CN), currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as no emissions figures are available. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. This lack of data suggests that Abbott may not have established formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and climate commitments to address climate change. However, without specific emissions data or reduction initiatives from Abbott, it is unclear how they align with these industry standards. As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, Abbott may need to consider developing and communicating clear climate commitments to enhance transparency and accountability in their environmental impact.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Abbott is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
